Civilians killed for attempting to flee Cuba
Article 216 of Cuba's Penal Code forbids Cuba's citizens from leaving the island without prior government authorization and penalizes attempts to do so with years of prison. Cuban authorities have killed many unarmed civilians, including children, for attempting to escape. It is feared that many who are presumed lost at sea may actually have been killed by the Cuban Border Guard.
